NDP MP COLLECTS PAY WHILE RUNNING FOR MAYOR

New Democrat Kennedy Stewart has continued to collect his MP’s salary while campaigning for mayor of Vancouver. Stewart says he will officially resign his Commons seat on Sept. 14. The campaign officially kicks off on Sept. 22. Stewart has represented the riding of Burnaby South since 2011 and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh intends to run in his riding once the seat is vacant. Stewart insists he’s been working as an MP but his Twitter handle reads “Candidate for Mayor of Vancouver” and his website links to his campaign site.
